May I Be an Expression of Love, Sunday, Advent Week 4

Prayer

God of love, may everything I do become an expression of your love. Amen.

Carry These Words in Your Heart Today

Each task performed with love is a tribute to God.

Today’s Picture

When I think of “insignificant tasks performed with love” [Christopher Maricle in today’s quote], it reminds me of feeding the birds.

The Jesus Priorities: 8 Essential Habits
Christopher Maricle

I found this book to be very helpful as I struggle to focus on the important things in life. The author found himself in a crisis of faith and decided to try to answer the question, “What did Jesus consistently say and do during his public ministry that would be instructive for us?” His journey of exploration led to this book. Each chapter looks at a different “Jesus Priority” such as Heal, Love, Pray, Spread the Word, and Accept Children as Precious.
